Have you watched the last decade and Vic clubs?This shouldn't come into consideration at all.
I'm fairly sure it's an issue with our development policies rather than recruitment.
Almost all of those first round picks were widely acknowledged as likely first round selections pre-draft. At worst, they were solid second-round selections. There was no question whether they were "good enough" to be on AFL lists. McAsey is a perfect example, he was widely considered to be the best KPD in the draft. It wasn't the case that we plucked him out of nowhere. Yet his development has stalled, to the point that we had to use our top-up pick on a depth player in his position. Either everybody was wrong about him... or something has gone wrong since he got here. The former option can happen occasionally, but when it happens time and time again...
Ironically, it's the players who were seemingly plucked out of nowhere that have tended to work out for us.
Clubs who fu** their list shouldn't be rewarded. We made some monumentally bad decisions. We tried to keep the window open too long without trying to get the next crop developed whilst in a winning side.
In summary we deserve our current lot.
If the AFL starts handing out picks to irresponsible clubs then everyone will just start going all in.
Get to the ******* draft and trade table and stop making sh*t decisions.
Dont:
- Trade 2 firsts for Gibbs
- Pick Jones and McHenry in a super draft
- Play older players to the detriment of developing youth
- Let players like Greenwood and Lyons walk and then wonder why you got nothin left
- Let the culture become so bad that players like Cameron and Betts want out so bad.
Post-season 2017-2020 is the 4 of the worst years of back to back sh*t decision making and we want a leg up? Piss right off and take your medicine
I agree with all the criticisms, but isn’t refusing an equalization measure kind of self defeating? It would be like having a JUH-type windfall land in our lap and then refusing to match a bid, just to prove how committed we are to getting success only when we really deserve it.Yes!!!
Because we are tracking that wayHow can this thread exist when we're not even sitting last in the ladder?
That's really not like big footy to overreact and say something stupid.Because we are tracking that way

What did it take for other teams to get it?10 wins in our last 44 games.

North have won something like 11 in the same time. They give give both of us priority picks?

What has happened to the blue skies being enjoyed by many on here after round 4?Yep. I'm pretty comfortable saying we're the worst team in the league on current form.
